Girls Like You ft. Cardi BMaroon 5

A song released in 2018 by Maroon 5, a pop-rock band with worldwide popularity.

Though they’re a band, they’ve fully incorporated electronic music elements, giving it a modern feel.

The music video features not only the band members but also many women—dancers, singers, athletes, and actresses—familiar faces from TV and dramas, so you’ll likely recognize quite a few of them.

Water SlideMew

This is a popular track from Mew’s 2015 album “+-,” which is also hugely popular in Japan.

Its dreamy yet dark atmosphere and addictive quality make it a song that sticks in your head after just one listen—it’s truly wonderful anytime you hear it.

The regular version is cool enough on its own, but the acoustic version has its own flavor and is also incredibly cool.
